The sermon explores the origin of suffering, arguing that it is not a consequence of divine action but rather a result of human choices and supernatural rebellion. Beginning with the perfect creation described in Genesis, the message traces suffering to Satan's initial fall, followed by the introduction of selfishness through Eve's disobedience, and ultimately to the pervasive nature of sin itself. The speaker emphasizes that understanding this historical progression is crucial for grappling with life's most difficult questions, offering a framework for comprehending suffering not as God's will, but as a consequence of choices that defy divine order, while promising further exploration of solutions in subsequent lessons.
